Venice Easterbrook is a scandalous woman. There are monstrous rumors about her - supposedly her first husband went bankrupt, indulging her expensive whims, and committed suicide, and the second, an elderly rich man, tolerated not only extravagant parties in the house, but also her young lover... And he gave his heart to this fatal beauty from his youth a true gentleman and a brilliant scientist, Christian, Duke of Lexington! He understands perfectly well that it is useless to hope for reciprocity, and he has not the slightest desire to become just another one of Mrs. Easterbrook’s victims. He conceals the feeling within himself, but one day fate brings them together with Venice during a trip to America. What awaits these people? Ardent, short-lived passion and quick separation? Or true love that can work miracles...
